Experimental
discount for cash
According to the Georgia CPA
Society, for the past year the
government has forbidden credit
card companies from restricting a
retailer’s right to give cash
discounts to customers paying
cash. Few retailers have offered
the discount, however. Now one
of the oil companies is doing so,
experimentally, to see what it
does for business.
